COLLECTION OF BIRDS
IN COMMUNITY BOUSE

Educational Exhibit.
GIFT FROM BOSS HOOVER
Tales of the Town
R. L. Kelly Gets Real Surprise On
His Birthday.
When one walks in the Community
Building and turns to the right and
enters the boys' lobby he will face a
wonderful collection of God's finest
gift to mankind—Bird and Animal
life.
When one studies the value of these
young creatures to our daily life and
how they help us to live through their
daily toil we are humbled to know of
the way God takes care of us. How
the destructive citizens of the air are
destroyed by these winged messengers, how many kinds of seeds that
produce productively for mankind are
spread through the efforts of birds
and small animals, then we know why
people stand in front of this case of
magnificent handiwork of the almighty
which through the aid of the taxidermist we are able to keep as a witness
through the ages. Daily hundreds go
to the building and stand in front of
j the case and have found out additional
news.
Birds of Many Kind
The stories that the birds could
tell. The wild duck that attains a
speed of 120 miles per hour and
would hustle the fastest airplane to
keep up with him; the sand piper
that knows where to get his daily
meal; the flying squirrel that leaps
from tree to tree; the gull that makes
our lakes pretty; the dove with the
soft note of welcome; the woodcock
that everlasting worker; the loon
that can swim under water like a
submarine; the thrush; the little family of humming birds with their nest
and babes; the grey, white and black
squirrels; the wood ducks that our
state protects; the grouse; the quail;
the hawk, the scavenger of the skies;
■" the Charlie Chaplin duck; the indigo
bunting and hundreds of other residents of the air are found in this
collection.
Can we name all of them ? We cannot, neither can you. But it is an
. everlasting wonder to just look at the
collection and think of the pretty
coats of feathers and wonder how God
could make such a collection and get
such a harmony out of it all, and
we know that only He can.
This collection is open to all who
care to witness it and it will be a
permanent part of the Community
Building. It would be worth while for
anyone to just drop into the Community Building and spend a half
hour looking this collection over.
Given By Mr. Hoover
Where did this collection come
from? Where does most of the good
things in North Canton come from?
We all know the answer—Boss
Hoover. Through some friends Boss
Hoover heard of this fine collection in
Millersburg, Ohio, and was able to
buy it before other collectors got
there. It is reported that he has been
offered twice as much as he paid for
it. But not the Boss—nothing is too
good for North Canton in his opinion.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all who are lovers of the great out-
of-doors to view this fine collection.
R. L. Kelly of North Canton celebrated his birthday on Saturday, and
his good wife, after the manner of
all dutiful and loyal helpmates, deter: ]
mined to make tbe highway of life
much easier during 1924 than in 1923
for Roscoe. She reasoned it oot that
the milestones look near through a
field glass, but that many pairs of
shoes are worn out traveling from
January to December.
So she thought of a plan whereby
Roscoe wouldn't think that he was
trudging the Appian Way when a
neighbor called him up to ask his
opinion on the best route to take to
the Blue Ridge mountains. Womanlike, she just "hinted" that a birthday surprise was coming his way, and
she kept" him on the qui vive (we believe the French spell it that way)
for several days.
On Saturday morning Roscoe L.
saw a strong man unload a strong
box at his door, and he guessed at
once that his present had arrived. He
insisted on assisting the S. M. tote
the strong box into the house and in
addition he quietly slipped him a
half-dollar tip. Then he went to the
living room and threw a few oral bouquets at Mrs. K., after which he departed for his office in the Hoover
building.
Came noon, and the partner of his
joys led him to the telephone. That
instrument of torture reposed calmly
on a desk manufactured expressly for
the purpose of holding it and on the
floor was a chair glib salesmen declare must go with the desk if you
want perfect harmony in the room
while using the hello box.
"It's your birthday present, dear,"
cooed Mrs. K.
Roscoe gazed at his wife. Then a
knowing look came into his eyes and
he understood, as hundreds of other
married men will understand when
they read this, they having passed
through the waters of the same mill.
And when he lets his lamps slant
in the direction of the telephone desk
and chair his wife had been wanting
for several years Mr. Kelly is .proud
of her and the useful articles she presented to him on his birthday.

NEW COUNCILMAN
Harry Storch Takes Seat Vacated By
. Paul Schick.
At a meeting of the Town Council
on Saturday night Harry Storch, residing on Portage street, was nominated, elected and sworn in as a member of Council to succeed Paul Schick,
who resigned recently.
Mr. Storch's name was presented to
the Dads by Councilman Frank Evans,
and it met with instant approval.
Mayor Lewis sent a call for Harry
and when he arrived «at the Town
Hall he was warmly greeted by the
members. He was greatly surprised
when told of his election, but promised to give the people conscientious
service, and all who know him realize
that he will make a good, bard-work-
ing public servant. The Sun joins in
the congratulations and believes that
North- Canton has secured an official
of excellent Councflmanic timber.

Report of the Secretary
The following report of the Auxiliary's activities during the past year
was written for The Sun by Mrs. Lester Swearengin:
The North Canton Auxiliary of The
American Legion wish to present to
the public a report of our accomplishments and expenditures of 1923 and
our aims for 1924.
The expenditures total §539.14 of
which $98.75 were .spent for flower-
for sick members and for deaths in
the families of ex-soldiers and members of the organization.
$40.85 were used for fruit for disabled soldiers in different hospitals.
$88.40 went to state headquarters.
$49.28 were expended on entertainment for ex-service men.
$148.22 were spent for boys in hospitals and donated to hospitals for
such things as clothing, magazines,
bed lamps, smokes, candy, ice cream
and Xmas goodies and $113.64 were
invested in cups, silverware, extracts,
poppies and stationery supplies.
Visit Men In Hospitals
Besides these expenditures from the
treasury, pies, cookies, doughnuts,
candy and money were sent to sick
and disabled veterans by contribution
from the members.
It is the regular duty of this Auxiliary to visit once a month the boys
in the Massillon hospital, at the
Springfield Lake sanitarium and
those stationed at Mercy hospital for
observation. And the hospital committee has been very faithful in their
duties and deserve praise for their
efforts. Any one who wishes to go
with members of the committee on
their monthly visits of cheer let them
know and they will be glad to have
outsiders go with them for the sake
of the boys.
Many other government hospitals
out of visiting reach receive contributions from us and no deserving call
for help or cheer passes by unnoticed.
$27 In Treasury
On account of our misfortune,, in
not receiving our usual supply of
poppies this past year the Auxiliary
starts the year of 1924 with the small
surplus of $27.00, but we hope that
all will respond with renewed energy
and interest and that we may make
1924 the best year yet.
We are planning for a bazaar before
Easter with a special line of garments for children and we earnestly
desire your help and co-operation.
Want Members Present
To our members, mark our meeting
nights on your calendar and come for
the good you can do, for we serve no
refreshments as an inducement to attendance for we feel that the defenders of our country need our help
much more than we need unnecessary
eats.
Signed,
MRS LESTER SWEARENGIN,
North Canton, O.

Kansas paper—The other night a
Parsons citizen pulled a revolver from
under his pillow and blazed away at
what he thought was a burglar in

An additional teacher is to be
added to the high school stafi" in North
Canton within a few days, the Board
ol" Education reaching the decision at
it- last meeting that such a teacher
is necessary if the school i.s to keep
up with the large amount of work
mapped out for it by local, county
and state authorities.
At present it keeps certain teachers
nioving at a rapid pace, and as it is
the ambition of the members of the
School Board to give the students
every- advantage to secure an education they decided the time had arrived
to appoint an additional teacher.
Practice a Common One
Very frequently high schools find
it necessary to engage an extra
teacher during the second semester in
order to assist pupils who failed to
reach the required standards in the
first semester, thus making it necessary to organize additional classes,
so the coming of an extra teacher to
North Canton i.s nothing new in school
work.
BUSINESS GROWING FAST

Miss Almyra Pontius attended the
meeting of Highland Grange at
'ireensborg and witnessed the installation of officers. This team surely
Joes work lo be proud of.
Haak & Kolp Bros, have just com
pleted an addition to their garage,
which is 38 feet wide and 85 feet
long. This gives the firm 3,230 square
feet additional, making their entire
space for ears, trucks and tractors on
the ground floor 18,080 square feet,
with 7,500 square feet of space on the
second floor for the storage of parts
and accessories.
At the present time they are carrying $14,000 worth of parts for Ford
cars, Ford trucks and Fordson tractors.
The new addition i.s needed to take
care of the increasing business. For
the year 1924 Haak & Kolp Bros,
have a contract with the Ford Motor
company for the delivery of 300 cars,
36 trucks, 4H tractors and 150 Dearborn Independent subscriptions.
Went Forward Rapidly
When Haak & Kolp Bros, first began to handle Ford cars in 1914 their
floor space was only 225 square feet.
In 1915 their contract was for 10
cars. The selling and repairing was
done at r.igh.f and on Saturday afternoon b,\ themselves, and that, too,
after putting in a day's work at the
Hoover factory. The members still
smile when (hey think of the nights
they worked straight through and only
knocked oil' just long' enough to wash
and go to breakfast. Several of the
first cars they "serviced" are running
around town or out in the country and
their owners say they are just as good
as in the old days.
Prosperity, however, didn't, give the
members of tlie firm the disease commonly called ''swelled head," They
■ere on the job early and late, ami
although they cany eighteen persons
on the pay roll at good wages, Mr.
Haak or the Kolp brothers are always
ready to give personal attention to
a customer if the latter deserves it.
Courtesy is a strong point with
this firm, and when it is joined to
service the combination i.s bound to
be a winner, "".'hey appreciate their
this is one reason their employees ap-
this is one reason hteir employees appreciate them. No where will you
find nicer treatment than you get
under their roof. The iron-clad rule
of thc firm i.s that as the public makes
their business successful the public
must be. shown every consideration.
The following figures illustrate the
growth of the firm since 1915:
Ford cats sold in 1915, 1". Sold in
1910, 30. Sold in 1917, 50. Sold in

Birds of Many Kind
The stories that the birds could
tell. The wild duck that attains a
speed of 120 miles per hour and
would hustle the fastest airplane to
keep up with him; the sand piper
that knows where to get his daily
meal; the flying squirrel that leaps
from tree to tree; the gull that makes
our lakes pretty; the dove with the
soft note of welcome; the woodcock
that everlasting worker; the loon
that can swim under water like a
submarine; the thrush; the little family of humming birds with their nest
and babes; the grey, white and black
squirrels; the wood ducks that our
state protects; the grouse; the quail;
the hawk, the scavenger of the skies;
■" the Charlie Chaplin duck; the indigo
bunting and hundreds of other residents of the air are found in this
collection.
Can we name all of them ? We cannot, neither can you. But it is an
. everlasting wonder to just look at the
collection and think of the pretty
coats of feathers and wonder how God
could make such a collection and get
such a harmony out of it all, and
we know that only He can.
This collection is open to all who
care to witness it and it will be a
permanent part of the Community
Building. It would be worth while for
anyone to just drop into the Community Building and spend a half
hour looking this collection over.
Given By Mr. Hoover
Where did this collection come
from? Where does most of the good
things in North Canton come from?
We all know the answer—Boss
Hoover. Through some friends Boss
Hoover heard of this fine collection in
Millersburg, Ohio, and was able to
buy it before other collectors got
there. It is reported that he has been
offered twice as much as he paid for
it. But not the Boss—nothing is too
good for North Canton in his opinion.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all who are lovers of the great out-
of-doors to view this fine collection.
R. L. Kelly of North Canton celebrated his birthday on Saturday, and
his good wife, after the manner of
all dutiful and loyal helpmates, deter: ]
mined to make tbe highway of life
much easier during 1924 than in 1923
for Roscoe. She reasoned it oot that
the milestones look near through a
field glass, but that many pairs of
shoes are worn out traveling from
January to December.
So she thought of a plan whereby
Roscoe wouldn't think that he was
trudging the Appian Way when a
neighbor called him up to ask his
opinion on the best route to take to
the Blue Ridge mountains. Womanlike, she just "hinted" that a birthday surprise was coming his way, and

On Saturday morning Roscoe L.

insisted on assisting the S. M. tote
the strong box into the house and in
addition he quietly slipped him a
half-dollar tip. Then he went to the
living room and threw a few oral bouquets at Mrs. K., after which he departed for his office in the Hoover
building.
Came noon, and the partner of his
joys led him to the telephone. That
instrument of torture reposed calmly
on a desk manufactured expressly for
the purpose of holding it and on the
floor was a chair glib salesmen declare must go with the desk if you
want perfect harmony in the room
while using the hello box.
"It's your birthday present, dear,"
cooed Mrs. K.
Roscoe gazed at his wife. Then a

they read this, they having passed
through the waters of the same mill.
And when he lets his lamps slant

for several years Mr. Kelly is .proud
of her and the useful articles she presented to him on his birthday.

Report of the Secretary
The following report of the Auxiliary's activities during the past year
was written for The Sun by Mrs. Lester Swearengin:
The North Canton Auxiliary of The
American Legion wish to present to
the public a report of our accomplishments and expenditures of 1923 and
our aims for 1924.
The expenditures total §539.14 of
which $98.75 were .spent for flower-
for sick members and for deaths in
the families of ex-soldiers and members of the organization.
$40.85 were used for fruit for disabled soldiers in different hospitals.
$88.40 went to state headquarters.
$49.28 were expended on entertainment for ex-service men.
$148.22 were spent for boys in hospitals and donated to hospitals for
such things as clothing, magazines,
bed lamps, smokes, candy, ice cream
and Xmas goodies and $113.64 were
invested in cups, silverware, extracts,
poppies and stationery supplies.
Visit Men In Hospitals
Besides these expenditures from the
treasury, pies, cookies, doughnuts,
candy and money were sent to sick
and disabled veterans by contribution
from the members.
It is the regular duty of this Auxiliary to visit once a month the boys
in the Massillon hospital, at the
Springfield Lake sanitarium and
those stationed at Mercy hospital for
observation. And the hospital committee has been very faithful in their
duties and deserve praise for their
efforts. Any one who wishes to go
with members of the committee on
their monthly visits of cheer let them
know and they will be glad to have
outsiders go with them for the sake
of the boys.
Many other government hospitals
out of visiting reach receive contributions from us and no deserving call
for help or cheer passes by unnoticed.
$27 In Treasury
On account of our misfortune,, in
not receiving our usual supply of
poppies this past year the Auxiliary
starts the year of 1924 with the small
surplus of $27.00, but we hope that
all will respond with renewed energy
and interest and that we may make
1924 the best year yet.
We are planning for a bazaar before
Easter with a special line of garments for children and we earnestly
desire your help and co-operation.
Want Members Present
To our members, mark our meeting
nights on your calendar and come for
the good you can do, for we serve no
refreshments as an inducement to attendance for we feel that the defenders of our country need our help
much more than we need unnecessary
eats.
Signed,
MRS LESTER SWEARENGIN,
North Canton, O.

Narrow' Escape •
Kansas paper—The other night a
Parsons citizen pulled a revolver from
under his pillow and blazed away at
what he thought was a burglar in
his room. Investigation proved that
he had shot a hole through his own
trousers hanging on a chair. All that
saved him from killing himself was
that he had removed his trousers
when he went to bed.
